Gangliogliom: Olgu sunumu

Gangliogliomas are mixed neuronal-glial type tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). Gangliogliomas are rare tumors that present histological features and biological behavior of low-grade malignancy. Gangliogliomas account for about 0.5% of all CNS tumors, and they generally occur in childhood. Gangliogliomas make up about 8.0% of CNS tumors in children. These tumors are mostly localized in the supratentorial region and often present with seizures. Surgery is the first choice of treatment. We present a case of a 14-yearold male who presented with headache, with vomiting added recently. A left temporal mass was detected during investigations. The mass was totally resected surgically. The pathology was reported as ganglioglioma. The patient is being followed sufficiently in our clinic.
